Mohit Pachauri

Director/Finance Broker

My name is Mohit and I am the co-director of Capital for Castles. As an accredited mortgage broker and co-director of Capital for Castles with my wife Jodie, we are active property investors with a passion for seeing people own their home and build financial security for their family.

I was born and raised in India where I saw the challenges my parents went through to get home to raise me and my siblings, and it’s because of that experience that I’m incredibly passionate about helping others get ahead. That’s why Jodie and I established this business, not just to help them get a loan but also to provide them with a memorable & referrable customer experience based on an outstanding service proposition underpinned by 5 key principles which are to help clients feel Valued, Understood, Wise, Supported and Wealthy.

Jodie Pachauri

Director/Finance Broker

My name is Jodie and I am the co-director of Capital for Castles with my husband Mohit. If you have ever seen The Castle movie, you would know that for most Australians, their home is really their castle. And, just like the movie, our business exists to help them realise their goal of buying and owning their castle and creating financial security for their families.

My main goal as an accredited mortgage broker is to exceed customer expectations by providing a professional, friendly and efficient service always adapting to suit each individual client’s needs. I see this as an integral part of my business as I aim to build my business on referrals and forming long term relationships with my clients.
So whether you’re looking for a flexible home loan or just want to gain a better understanding of the home loan process and the current market, I can help. So get in touch today if you need help finding a suitable home loan.

I was recommended to Mohit by my accountant. I was looking to buy a commercial facility and my previous broker proved to be too difficult, kept asking us for same documents over and over again and then took a very long time to respond to us. We needed a broker who was quick, efficient and knew what he was doing. I met with Mohit at his office and found his business practices very much aligned to mine. He was very clear on communication and kept me updated through out the loan process. Which is very important part for me. Being a business owner myself, this meant a lot to me. Now that we have settled my commercial facility, Mohit and his team at Capital for Castles have become my resident Finance Broker for all my financing needs. We can’t recommend their services high enough. Hope to deal with you on the next investment for sure !!!

Mohit and his team made the whole process easy. I love that they have their own friendly UI for collecting the data and I appreciated his transparency around the commercials. They were very responsive, friendly and professional and I've already recommended them to my sister, so would definitely recommend anyone else use them too.

The fantastic team at Capital for Castles recently assisted me in purchasing my first home. Not only are they incredibly warm and friendly, they were extremely professional and thorough at all times. I personally had the pleasure of dealing with Mohit and Ritchel who walked me through every step of the way starting with our introductory chat, right up until settlement and even beyond. Going through the process as a first home buyer can be daunting at times, however the team ensured I always felt comfortable and reassured by taking the time to explain all details and requirements, as well scheduling regular check ins to keep me updated. I have already recommended Capital for Castles to family and friends who all have shared similar feedback. Cannot praise this wonderful team enough for helping me achieve my first property aspirations. Thanks again Mohit and Ritchel.

I highly recommend Capital for Castles! Jodie and Aleesha have been a pleasure to deal with and have made the home loan process a breeze. The team is very knowledgeable, responsive and have kept my partner and me always updated. As a non permanent resident Jodie found us a great loan and sorted out any issue related to my visa status. Thank you Jodie and Aleesha!

I cannot speak more highly of Mohit. I have sent multiple clients to Mohit (& Jodie) and they have provided exceptional quality service. They continually update you with progress. They find the best solution for the client. There knowledge and experience shines through. They are both personal, professional and a pleasure to work with. Through ‘5 star’ feedback from my (now joint) clients and the personal experience I have had with Capital for Castles, I can highly recommend Mo and the team to look after your finance requirements.

As a fellow member of BNI, I have gotten to know Mohit Pachauri very these last couple of years. I had the pleasure of helping Mohit and Jodie to rebrand Capital for Castles, including developing their logo, website and other design elements. In this time I have found Mohit to be genuine, committed and extremely passionate about helping people with their mortgage needs and other finance needs, no matter what stage of life they are in. He is values-driven, honest and trustworthy. On a personal level, I heard Mo’s story and that he was committing to doing the St Vinnies CEO Sleepout to raise awareness and funds for homelessness. Mo inspired me to also take part in this event, and doing so means a lot to me. I highly recommend Mohit, Jodie and Capital for Castles.

I have used Mohit service to apply a loan application for my parents. Mohit has been very clear and effective in communicating. Considering the circumstances, it has been challenging and stretching application. However, Mohit has been very patient and working hard to find the right lender. I cannot emphases more for his great and wonderful service. If anyone planning to secure a loan for his purchase, I highly recommend connecting Mohit and his team.
